The HERMEQ RB22 Water Filled Crash Barrier offers certified impact protection for high-risk traffic management barriers and live infrastructure sites. Designed for crash zones and heavy-duty applications, this 600kg barrier withstands vehicle impacts at up to 50mph and wind loads to 78mph, making it one of the most robust water filled road barriers available.
Manufactured from UV-stabilised, recyclable polythene, each 2.19m barrier unit interlocks using a steel pin system for secure, continuous alignment. Its 540L capacity provides mass and momentum reduction in crash zones. Compatible mesh and hoarding fence kits increase height above 2m, while cornering units allow for flexible layouts up to 90° turns.
- Certified crash safety – Independently TRL-tested to meet highway barrier standards.
- Reduces secondary hazards – Water-filled core absorbs force and limits vehicle rebound.
- Built-in forklift channels – Easy movement on and off site, even when filled.
- Extension-ready – Fixings supplied for mesh, hoarding or clad fence panels.
- All-weather visibility – Supplied in red/white for maximum roadside contrast and compliance.
This crash-rated water filled traffic barrier can be deployed with standard road barriers, traffic signage and access control gates. HERMEQ also offers GB2 and RB2000 models for differing sizes and site formats.

Crash Zones & Roadway Protection
RB22 barriers are frequently used in highway repair sites, active verge works, and road lane shifts. Their proven performance offers vital impact deflection and hazard containment.
Secure Layouts
The steel pin joinery enables straight and curved layouts with zero slippage. Use 90° corner sections to adapt to inner city works, bends, or compound perimeters.
Barrier Handling
Each 60kg unit is movable by two people when empty and includes integrated forklift guides for secure mechanical lifting. Water is added via 95mm fill ports and drained via 25mm valves.
Full System Compatibility
HERMEQ provides pedestrian and vehicle gates, fence extension kits, and signage solutions fully compatible with the RB22 crash barrier system.
